Abstract

Abstract

The healthcare sector faces growing threats from emerging quantum technologies that may compromise conventional encryption systems. Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) has become a promising solution to achieve information-theoretic security for medical data transmission, storage, and sharing. This review summarizes QKD principles, its applications in EHRs and IoMT, and its integration with post-quantum cryptography (PQC). We highlight challenges in QKD infrastructure scalability and interoperability , and explore future directions like satellite-based quantum networks.
